Bruno Kirby dies at 57

My favorite Kirby role was a small one in "This is Spinal Tap."

Bruno Kirby, a veteran character actor known for playing the best friend in two of Billy Crystal’s biggest comedies “When Harry Met Sally” and “City Slickers,” has died. He was 57.

Kirby died Monday in Los Angeles from complications related to leukemia, his wife Lynn Sellers said in a statement Tuesday. He had been recently diagnosed with the disease.

Along with his wife and father, Kirby is survived by his stepmother Roz Kirby, brother John Kirby and stepbrother Brad Sullivan.

Bruno Kirby dies at 57

I watch the news every morning and listen to the radio throughout the day...and this is the first I hear about this. I liked this guy.

It's as Jim Morrison said: "No one gets out of here alive!"
